Fact: operatingsystemrelease
Purpose: Returns the release of the operating system.
Resolution:
Uses the release key of the os structured hash, which itself operates on the following conditions: On RedHat derivatives, returns their `/etc/<variant>-release` file. On Debian, returns `/etc/debian_version`. On Ubuntu, parses `/etc/lsb-release` for the release version. On Suse, derivatives, parses `/etc/SuSE-release` for a selection of version information. On Slackware, parses `/etc/slackware-version`. On Amazon Linux, returns the `lsbdistrelease` value. On Mageia, parses `/etc/mageia-release` for the release version. On all remaining systems, returns the kernelrelease fact's value.
